Chapter 0251 - Big Contract
When Marcus Rashford scored the fourth goal and the England players finished their celebrations and returned to the pitch, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the half.
In fact, the whistle at the end of the half also meant that Rashford's international debut was over. Because at the beginning of the second half, the national team manager Hodgson replaced Rashford.
As a friendlie, the substitutions are different from matches such as the league, the Europa League, the European Championship and the World Cup, where the substitutions are not three, but six.
In order to scout more players, Hodgson made three changes at the start of the second half, replacing Rashford with Jesse Lingard, Lallana with Wayne Rooney and Wilshere with Milner.
Hodgson is also trying to save face for his little brother, after all, Rashford is too brutal on the field, he killed Australia four in the half, and this is the result of his leisurely play, if it weren't for nearly half an hour in the middle of the first half, Rashford didn't play much, just assisting Sterling and Lallana and others, God knows what score will be played.
Therefore, for the sake of diplomatic relations between England and Australia, Hodgson had to replace Rashford. Rashford's international debut was impressive enough anyway, and there was no need to waste energy in such a warm-up game.
After all, the European Championship is still half a month away, and Rashford has been playing for more than three months in a row and needs to take a good rest.
England, who replaced Marcus Rashford, were less threatening, scoring just two goals in the second half. But the final score was not 6:0, but 5:1, because the sixth goal was scored by England's newly debuted Dier.
The fifth goal was scored by captain Wayne Rooney in the 56th minute of the game, which was the 52nd goal of the little fat man in the national team game, and he continued to rewrite the England national team goal record held by himself.
………………
After this match, the national team was temporarily disbanded and will not regroup until June. Then they will go to France to prepare for the European Championships.
Marcus Rashford's international debut, scoring four goals, gave him one attribute point and three skill points, which brought his skill points to 47, but there was still 17 skill points to go before he could upgrade the Leader's Heart to level seven.
The national team was temporarily disbanded, but Rashford did not return to Manchester, but remained in London.
Rashford won't really get a break during this short few days of rest. Because he has a series of business activities to participate in.
As the first contributor to Manchester United's small treble, the new Premier League top scorer, Europa League top scorer and European Golden Boot, Rashford's commercial value has been greatly enhanced, and Catherine Gloria has also started the process of developing this commercial value.
And now, when Rashford is free, he needs to attend business events.
On 28 May 2016, the day after the England-Australia warm-up match, Rashford attended Nike's signing ceremony in London.
This signing ceremony is actually a show, and the real agreement has already been signed.
Nike is a sponsor of Rashford, and it also signed Rashford after beating out Adidas, a formidable rival.
In the press conference hall prepared by Nike, countless media gathered, in addition to the British media, there were also media from the United States, French media and Italian team media, in addition, there were also many journalists from as far away as East Asia and Southeast Asia, mainly including China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and other places.
It can also be seen from here that although Rashford's rise is still very short, because his performance in the past few months has been too dazzling, his influence in the world is already very huge.
Of course, Rashford's ability to have such a huge influence is also related to his background in Manchester United. As the world's most commercially successful football club, Manchester United has partners all over the world, and now the club's star has signed its first major sponsorship contract, and Manchester United has made a difference.
The reason why Manchester United is so committed to helping to promote this matter also has the meaning of making up for the relationship with Nike.
Manchester United's original shirt sponsor was Nike, but because the contract offered by Adidas was too attractive, they abandoned Nike and chose Adidas.
However, United do not want to be alienated from Nike because of this, and now the team's star has signed a sponsorship contract with Nike, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Rashford's five-year sponsorship deal with Nike will bring him £3 million a year, which is a million pounds more than his previous contract with Nike.
And there is such a huge change, naturally because Rashford's fame today is incomparable to him at this moment in his previous life.
There is even a supplementary clause to this contract, that is, if Rashford wins the Golden Boy award, Nike will pay an additional 500,000 pounds, and if he wins the World Footballer of the Year or the Golden Ball, he will pay Rashford an additional 1 million pounds.
………………
The next day, Rashford's vice president of apparel for Nike's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) business, Mary Rashford. Kate. Accompanied by Ms. Barkley, she signed a contract with Nike and officially joined the Nike football family.
At the same time, Nike officially announced that it will officially launch sneakers named after Rashford before the start of the new season.
The signing ceremony with Nike is just the beginning of Rashford's business activities.
Marcus Rashford, who has just won the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup treble, and has been named the Premier League's top scorer, Europa League's top scorer and Europe's Golden Boot, is now very popular in world football, and he has also become a star favored by many businesses, and countless companies and merchants have brandished cheques to sign him.
In addition to Nike, after further screening by Catherine Gloria and her final discussion with Rashford, Rashford subsequently reached sponsorship endorsement cooperation with three British companies and two foreign brands. One of the two foreign companies is also Chinese.
However, the five brands did not have the same good treatment as Nike, and they were signed with five-year long-term contracts, and Rashford signed short-term endorsement contracts with them for two years.
Marcus Rashford, who aspires to be the number one player in world football, is generally reluctant to sign a long-term contract with a sponsor, and with his speed of progress and the expansion of his influence in football, a short-term contract is in his best interest. That is, super sports brands like Nike can enjoy exceptions.
